This 36.5" Schoenhut club is complete, in the box, and in working condition!  The metal plate just below the grip is not readable, but was originally marked "Manufactured by The A. Schoenhut Co, Phila, PA, Pat USA March 14, 1922, Foreign Patents Pending."  

The box contains the golfer, 2 clubs, ball, first tee marker, putting green, and a few obstacles.  

Quoting from an ad released by the A. Schoenhut Company (Philadelphia, PA), "Schoenhut's Indoor Golf is one of those games that everybody can play....It is played with a stick resembling a golf stick, but in the place of the head there is a miniature golfing figure--'Tommy Green'--...who makes your strokes for you.

"You control the action of 'Tommy' through a lever located between your first and second fingers. It's the greatest sport imaginable. 'Tommy' drive[s], putt[s] or approach[es], just as in real golf, according to the kind of club you put between their fingers and according to your skill in operating the lever."

"You will find that it requires just as much skill and scientific accuracy as a real game of outdoor golf—a truly worthwhile amusement."

 


Box measures 36 1/2" x 8 1/4" x 4 5/8" 

Includes golfer, 2 clubs, ball, sand tee box, Boundary sign, four mounds/course features, and putting green
